First-of-its-kind biogas to power technology to come in Oman

Muscat: An agreement has been inked for the provision of the Sultanate's first-of-its-kind biogas to power generator, which will be installed at Mazoon Dairy's site. Attesting to its robust In-Country Value (ICV) efforts, Oman LNG signed the pivotal agreement with Ejaad and Mazoon Dairy.This collaboration demonstrates the value of cross-industrial collaboration under Ejaad's umbrella between the food sector (represented by Mazoon Dairy) and the energy sector (represented by Oman LNG) in the technology demonstration, localisation and innovation aspects. In addition, the agreement will facilitate the deployment of biogas to power technology to demonstrate at large scale the feasibility of biogas to power for the first time in the Sultanate of Oman. Mazoon Dairy in 2019 started up the first biogas plant in Oman and the first of its kind in the food processing sector in the region.The generator, supplied by Oman LNG, will assist in producing energy by utilising the biogas currently produced from organic waste at Mazoon Dairy Site and convert it to a sustainable green energy source yielding less environmental emissions. Biogas is a renewable and clean, source of energy that promotes the sustainability of ecological systems and replenish their resources, contribute to social welfare, and alleviate pressures
